    The tour was perfect! Very blessed to have Saul and Luis as our guides. They were very professional, knowledgeable, respectful. We felt very safe and they were so passionate of the culture and heritage, I am deeply touched. Thank you for presenting this beautiful heritage. So glad to have meet you both. The hotels chosen are all clean and in good location. We have no issues. Again thanks to Saul and Luis, locals treated us very kindly. The tour is also very packed so we covered a lot in just 3 days. So thankful for our guides who drove hours to bring us safely to sites. There were only 2 couples and we had a lot of space and comfort in the van. Great drivers too, usually I get car sick but not with them. I will recommend this tour.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, it was just what I was looking for. Daniel was a lovely guide. Lots of travelling but very well organised and sufficient time at each place, considering the itinerary. Very nice hotel in Valladolid. Hotel in Merida was in a good location but was noisy (though I was fine and slept well as I wore ear plugs 😁).

    This tour is a perfect getaway. The two ruins visited are beautiful and accompanied by education from the tour guide. I traveled solely for the ruins but enjoyed the nature preserve and cocoa museum a lot as well. The locations were very safe and ones where you could walk to the main squares at night without fear. The pace varies from very leisurely (ruins) to kind of huried (cocoa museum). My only complaint is that the last restaurant was selected for us and took only cash which we weren't told ahead and were low on by that point, could have been bad. The hotels were fine and the transportation was very good. Shout out to Daniel and Carlito the second best driver in the world.

    Daniel was so kind and knowledgeable! He was very helpful in making sure there were vegan options for me whenever he could. He also taught us a lot of cool information throughout the trip. Overall it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth it for travellers who have a limited time to see as much as possible!

    This tour is a great way to experience the “real” Mexico in a guided setting in a short amount of time. Our tour guide was excellent. Logistics went smoothly. The only things for improvement would be accommodation quality.

    Daniel our tour guide was the greatest. Every day was strenuous for a 78 year old, but everyone was so helpful. Loved every minute of the 4 days.

    The tour was really good! Aldo was our guide and he gave us lots of information, fun facts and tidbits about Yucatan and Mayan people as we went along. Day 1 was by yourself-- you use the time to arrive in Cancun and settle into your hotel. Day 2 was packed with a visit to the mangroves, a 2 hour long boat tour with wildlife sightings, swimming in a cenote and evening in the city of Valladolid. Day 3 was super busy too with a tour of the Chichen Itza, visit to the city of Izamal (we climbed a pyramid there) and an overnight stay in Merida (beautiful, vibrant city with great food). In our last day we went to Uxmal (which was splendid and really well preserved), a Mayan marketplace and a chocolate museum. You cover a LOT of stuff in just 3 days, so it's a lot of early mornings and late evenings. But it was worth it imo! The inclusive breakfast is a nice bonus too. The only drawbacks were my experience with the transfer to the hotel from the Cancun airport. It was a long, almost 2 hour wait at the airport! I also thought the hotel we stayed in Valladolid (Hotel Ecotel Quinta Regia) was very old and lacked some basic amenities. I hope the tour operators make improvements to these aspects for future tour groups.

    The tour was very good. It was very varied and we have seen a lot in a short amount of time. Fantastic if you want to explore Yucatán without planning it yourself. We loved that the group was so small which allowed for some personalisation of the tour. Juan Carlos was a good tour guide who fed us with lots of information about Yucatán/Mexico. The only negatives are that there was a lot of driving on day 1 and the hotel in Merida was outdated.
